In order to set up the controller script, please follow these instructions:

This script currently requires at least FL Studio 20.7.1. You may need to install a release candidate from the Image-Line Forums.

Note: In order to receive automatic updates through GitHub, follow the instructions listed here

  1. Download the latest script release.

  2. Copy the script's folder to your /Image-Line/FL Studio/Settings/Hardware/ directory. See Figure 1

  3. Launch FL Studio and navigate to MIDI Settings. Set the following options See Figure 2:

    • Device: Launchkey MK2 49; Controller: LaunchKey Mk2 (user)

    • Device: MIDIIN2 (Launchkey MK2 49); Controller: LaunchKey Mk2 Extension (user)

  4. In the script's folder, open config.py in any text editor (not in the Python interpreter) and edit the constants DEVICE_PORT_BASIC and DEVICE_PORT_EXTENDED to match those shown in FL Studio. Save and close the file.

  5. Restart FL Studio. A coloured light pattern should appear. Check the following list for the colours.

    • Rainbow: Successful initialisation

    • Red: Unsuccessful initialisation. Please update FL Studio.

    • Green: An update to the script is available. Navigate to this repository to install it. [Note that this functionality is currently not enabled due to missing modules in FL Studio's Python implementation.]

The set-up process is now complete.
